For those familiar with the bar scene in London, you would probably know of Marian Beke who helms Nightjar. His cocktail creations are like haute couture, exquisite and one-of-a-kind. I thought I have seen all kinds of cocktails, but I guess I ain't seen nothing yet till I try one of Marian's creations. It's time to shake up the bar scene in Singapore and evolve beyond fresh fruit cocktails (that's so ordinary now).

So who is Marian Beke? He made his name as a bartender while working with Ago Perone at the famed Montgomery Place. When Ago left, Marian helmed the bar and went on to win numerous awards for its cocktail menu. After which he moved on to Artesian Bar at Langhan Hotel and led the bar to being nominated in the 'World Best Hotel Bar' category in the Tales of Cocktail Spirited Awards in New Orleans. Today, he helms Nightjar but also travels around the world to train, teach and head seminars.

For one night only, Marian will be at B28 to showcase his creations of luxury cocktails. Do make a reservation early to avoid disappointment.

The creations for the night will be kept as a secret and will only be revealed on the day itself. However, here's a look at the cocktails from Nightjar to give you an idea on what to expect on 28 February, Thursday. The devil is in the details and I can safely proclaim Marian as the King of Presentation. Expect the unexpected.
